Single Family Homes: Fall 2018

Market Statistics for Single Family Homes: Louisville, Colorado

The median list price took a large dip down from $739,000 in early August to $637,000 in mid November. Louisville's inventory is relatively high for the fall months, as we currently see 42 homes on the market, not too far below the 55 homes in August. "Days on Market" (DOM) has ticked up from 60 days in early August, to 72 days in mid-November, which includes time to close. A number of listings continue to lowering their price as we see 57% of sellers offering price reductions today, compared to 45% as of early August, up from 28% in early May 2018, and way up from 9% in March 2017. Sellers are starting to sober up from a super hot market and realize if they want to sell they need to be realistic about pricing. This is a buyer friendly trend but of course, it is also seasonal since there are more homes on the market that weigh into this statistic. Check out all current Louisville listings here.
